Singapore

Singapore is so much more than a stopover. This city is a destination in itself; captivating visitors with futuristic architecture, natural beauty and some of the finest cuisine in the world. Countless itineraries now spend time in Singapore, opening the eyes of those on-board luxury cruises to a world of stunning contrasts.

Don’t miss…

Gardens by the Bay

A must-visit during any Singapore cruise. This urban jungle is just one of the reasons why Singapore is known as the ‘City in a Garden’. Twinkling Supertrees, an exotic Flower Dome and a breath-taking indoor Cloud Forest nestle amongst lush vegetation cultivated by an in-house team of horticulturists, arborists, plant research experts and orchid breeders. You could easily spend an entire day here, refuelling with an authentic Malay curry on your way back to your luxury cruise ship.

Sentosa

Step onto Sentosa and you will forget that you are so close to a busy city. Just a short train ride from Singapore, this island is a paradise of picturesque beaches, relaxing spas, shops and mouth-watering places to eat. Palawan beach is the most family-friendly, Siloso beach is bordered by the coolest bars and restaurants, and Tanjong beach offers tranquility and solitude.

Raffles Hotel

If you can tear yourself away from Singapore’s fantastic shopping opportunities (you have to visit Orchard Road), stop by the luxurious Raffles hotel for a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar. A colonial gem amidst towering skyscrapers, it is steeped in history and legendary tales about errant tigers and celebrity guests.

Night Safari

The world’s first nocturnal zoo is an unmissable experience. Step onto a Tram Safari and discover the Himalayan foothills, Indian subcontinent and Burmese hillside with fascinating expert commentary. Stroll the walking trails to spot fishing cats and elusive leopards, and watch the stunning Creatures of the Night show: a 20-minute introduction to the unique behaviours of a cast of amazing animals.

Singapore deserves more than a cursory visit on a flight to Australia. This melting pot of sights, tastes and cultures will get under the skin of all who visit as part of Asia cruises to places like Thailand and Indonesia. It is unforgettable, and with land tours from Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas, there is even more time to immerse yourself in Singaporean life.
